Illustrative example

Example: a collection order at a takeaway

This is an example of how the workflow runs, not a description of a specific Newtownabbey business.

  1. 1

    A customer opens your site, picks their food and chooses a collection time.

  2. 2

    They pay online and get a confirmation with their order reference.

  3. 3

    The order appears in your dashboard and, if you use one, prints on the kitchen printer.

  4. 4

    When the counter is overloaded, you can close new orders without losing the paid orders already in the list.

Collection without another phone call

Direct online ordering

Collection orders are paid before they reach you, so there are no phone orders to write down and no unpaid no-shows.

Online ordering →

Sold-out and availability controls

One tap takes a sold-out item off the live menu, so customers cannot order what the kitchen has run out of.

Stock controls →

Optional kitchen printing

If you add a compatible Star printer, each paid order comes out as a ticket for the kitchen.
